Former minister Miklos Sestak's billionaires were found buried in a forest in Hungary.
In Hungary, security forces discovered large caches of cash belonging to the former Minister of National Development, Miklos Sestak. The operation was carried out by the National Directorate for Asset Recovery and Protection.
The search continued for two days, during which the investigators found money hidden in the most unexpected places - from secret home safes and agricultural warehouses to pits dug in the forest. In total, the authorities managed to seize 5.07 billion forints (about 1.3 billion rubles), 2.65 million euros and 1.25 million dollars. All the funds found have already been transferred to the accounts of the state treasury.
Miklos Sestek, who held the position of minister between 2014 and 2018, was arrested in September 2026. According to the investigators, the huge sums of cash are illegal injections that the former minister and his partners received from businessmen for their help in obtaining government contracts.
